4. A 62.0-kg person, standing on the diving board, dives straight down into the water. Just before striking the water, her speed

is 5.50 m/s. At a time of 1.65 s after she enters the water, her speed is reduced to 1.10 m/s. What is the net average force (magnitude and direction) that acts on her when she is in the water?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Moment. The moment in terms of the Force and the time can be expressed as

$\Delta P = F\Delta t$

F = Force

$\Delta t = Time$

At the same time the moment can be expressed in terms of mass and velocity, mathematically it can be given as

$P = m \Delta v$

Where

m = Mass

$\Delta v =$ Change in velocity

Our values are given as

$\Delta t=1.65s$

By equating the two equations we can find the Force,

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

$F = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

$F = \frac{62(1.1-5.5)}{1.65}$

Therefore, the net average force will be:

$F = - 165N$

The negative symbol indicates that the direction of the force is upwards.

In 2007, michael carter (u.s.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. what was the initial speed of the sho

Serga [27]

The initial speed of the shot is 15.02 m/s.

The Shot put is released at a height y<em> </em>from the ground with a speed u. It is released at an angle θ to the horizontal. In a time t, the shot put travels a distance <em>R</em> horizontally.

Pl refer to the attached diagram.

Resolve the velocity u into horizontal and vertical components, u ₓ=ucosθ and uy=u sinθ. The horizontal component remains constant in the absence of air resistance, while the vertical component varies due to the action of the gravitational force.

Write an expression for R.

$R=u_xt=(ucos \theta)t$

Therefore,

$t=\frac{R}{ucos\theta} .......(1)$

In the time t, the net displacement of the shotput is y in the downward direction.

Use the equation of motion,

$y=u_yt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=(usin\theta) t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Substitute the value of t from equation (1).

$y=(ucos\theta)(\frac{R}{ucos\theta} )-\frac{1}{2} g(\frac{R}{ucos\theta} )^2\\ =Rtan\theta-(\frac{gR^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta} )$

Substitute -2.10 m for y, 24.77 m for R and 38.0° for θ and solve for u.

$y=Rtan\theta-(\frac{gR^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta} )\\ (-2.10m)=(24.77 m)(tan38.0^o)-\frac{(9.8 m/s^2)(24.77m)^2}{2u^2(cos38.0^o)^2} \\ u^2=225.71(m/s)^2\\ u=15.02m/s$

The shot put was thrown with a speed 15.02 m/s.

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$ where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

$r=e^u$

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\$

Here

$r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m$

$r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m$

So

$a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\$

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 $m/s^2$

The radial component is given as

$a_r=r''-r\theta'^2$

Here

$r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m$

So

$a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2$

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 $m/s^2$
